If Hamels pitched Monday on normal rest, then Myers is on normal rest on Tuesday, is he not? He pitched Thursday.

Looking at the radar, a 9:45 clearup seems more likely than 9:18-9:30. Game should start around 10:10-10:15.

right now, they're trying to figure out a way to have the game on at the same time as the eagles game

I take it it's definitely NOT going ahead tonight? Y'all sound very gloom and doomy.

In my estimation, it's going to happen. I'll bet money it's going to happen. They're just waiting for the clear-up, and then they're gonna play. This field drains very well. It wasn't as dim a forecast as predicted earlier in the week, but it was slightly worse than what was predicted yesterday. However, they're going to play.

It'll be like "Breakfast at Wimbledon" for you, Wiz.

Those are the times the weather guy on Fox said, mind you. Not Joe Buck or anyone like that.

Well screw it, I'm playing meteorologist right now, don't steal my thunder

They gon' play.

I can't see them going through all this only to pull the plug at this point.

was there a lot of tailgating with the weather? as the game starts later and later i envision a drunken mess at cbp tonight, not that there is anything wrong with that

BRAD GARRETT LEADING OFF

where is SKnumbers with the report?

by **TenuredVulture** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 21:08:19

Feels like a west coast post season thread! I'm posting from a remote location, by the way, a pumpkin carving, where the manhattans have been strong and plentiful.

Daylight saving time has just created an interesting problem. It just went from being 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM. CFP reckons 9.30, yes? I reckon I'm going to get about 1 1/2 hours shut eye, then see what's going on.

What a pain.

by **Rococo4** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 21:11:39

it would help if the osu psu game was more exciting right now

think about how hard MLB/FOX fought to move world series games to 8PM just to increase west coast viewership.

how smart a decision would it be to then start a game at 10PM eastern time in a game with two east coast teams.

so, you're right. they're definitely getting this game in.

by **VFB** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 21:12:27

my guess would be they'll cancel at 10:00 cause it still going to be raining
